Created by a dedicated group of volunteers in 2020, the #FTDhotshotchallenge began as a community-driven, grassroots campaign that used social media and hot sauce to raise awareness of FTD and funds for AFTD’s mission. In response to its success, we’re burning up to announce that this year, the #FTDhotshotchallenge will be an official part of AFTD's Food for Thought campaign!
